Mock Audit Being Audit Prepared Not Getting Audit Ready

One of the strongest examples of collective responsibility we’ve seen recently has come through the mock audit process.

What’s stood out isn’t just the work itself, but how teams have approached it. School teams and Support Services have been working side by side—reviewing files, asking questions, and making changes together. There’s been a real shift toward shared ownership, where this isn’t seen as one person’s job, but something we all have a role in.

It’s also created space for honest reflection. Not everything is perfect—and that’s okay. The focus has been on improving practice so that what we are doing to support students is clear, consistent, and easy to understand for everyone, including families.
